Default Joint compound over paint?

The paint on my bathroom ceiling is cracking and flaking from the
humidity when showering(no ventilation, need to install a fan). Will
it be OK if I scrape all the flaky stuff off, degloss the paint that
still adheres good, apply mud, sand it, then paint?

TIA

yeah that works, refinished most of my home that way, use drywall mud.

after scraping and cleaning give room a coat of BIN or Kilz, that gets
better adhesion

fix the humidity problem before you start remodeling or your just asking to
revisit the problem later
